Karen Lewis

Non-Executive Member

My professional background is predominantly in the fields of education, media and community engagement.

I have significant experience in digital inclusion and recently retired from my role as a Director at Cwmpas (formerly the Wales Co-operative Centre) where I led the delivery of Welsh Government’s digital inclusion programme for several years.

I previously held senior positions at the Welsh Institute for Health and Social Care and the University of South Wales, creating and leading programmes specialising in the co-production of patients’ and citizens’ stories to improve service delivery. I was the founder Senior Producer of the BBC’s award-winning community based Digital Storytelling initiative.

Previous non-executive roles include Chair of Digital Leaders for Wales, a member of Ofcom’s Advisory Committee (Wales) and the member for Wales on the UK wide Communications Consumer Panel. I have also served on several expert panels.

I am honoured to have been appointed to the Board of Llais and I look forward to helping drive positive service change across health and social care for the people of Wales.
